Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 292: Unspoken favors

Regarding Woz’s crash, Tang Huan was speechless. In order to help him alleviate his fascination with flying small private jets, he had tried his best, but such a small probability event still happened, but it was only a while too late. .

This really complied with that sentence, the fate of man is destined, but it is a pity that Woz has a talent for electronic technology.

However, the impact of this accident is limited to the micro level. After all, Woz has achieved fame, fame and fortune. His enthusiasm for work is almost entirely determined by his hobbies, and his daily activities are all in the part of Apple.

However, Mike Scott was forced to take a vacation, and the high-level personnel changes in the position of chairman Markkula concurrently had far-reaching impact.

In addition, Wall Street's reaction was a bit intriguing. It even accused Apple of being a nouveau riche. After being proud, it became frivolous and could share adversities, but could not share wealth. Such treatment of entrepreneurial old employees is unavoidable.

Nima, the capitalists who have never known what morality is, when did they become so humane? Tang Huan didn't wonder.

Apple’s personnel composition is relatively complicated. From the beginning of starting a business in the garage, it has successively had a group of old employees with low diplomas, or part-time or full-time. These people are the parts of Apple that have not been allocated stock interests after Apple’s listing. group.

Most of the employees recruited in the next step are talents like ea's current Hawkins, who have a high degree of education. Of course, they also include some people who have dropped out of school but are extremely talented, but many of them have special attributes such as secondary two. Characters, because Jobs did not mix with recruitment, his employment standards are quite unique.

Therefore, as Mike Scott, it is really difficult and laborious to manage the company. In addition, his physical health also has problems. His temper is sometimes irritable and sometimes weird, and he suddenly becomes confused about Apple. A strong dose of medicine. Tang Huan could also expect a quick knife to slash the chaos.

As for Mike Scott's vacation, it is purely a normal state of the corporate political struggle. Wall Street can't afford to worry about it. Your expression of such a mess will affect the company's image.

You know, although the ibm-name is called a new generation of 16-bit personal computers. But in order to reduce costs, the cpu it uses is a shrunken version of intel8088 of intel8086. The internal registers of the two are both 16 bits, but the external data bus of the latter is 8 bits, not a complete 16-bit cpu.

Apple’s upgraded version of the Apple platform already has a large number of applications, especially Zheru’s commercial software, and its performance is not necessarily bad.

Therefore, in the actual market competition, ibm- did not have the advantage of crushing the top of Mount Tai as soon as it debuted, and wanted to make money from this field. It has to be done step by step, such as letting the popular Apple in the entry-level market misfire.

Obviously, if Apple is badly sung by others and loses its reputation in the market, Tang Huan’s desire for Apple to entangle ibm- may be greatly affected, which naturally aroused his great attention, and he quickly returned. Go to Silicon Valley to see what's going on. Don't hide any follow-up conspiracy behind your back.

Taking advantage of Apple's release and Apple's stock price rise, Tang Huan sold most of Apple's shares in his hands and offered to resign as a director.

But Markkula disagreed. Although Jobs didn't say a word, he still acquiesced in keeping him.

In the end, Tang Huan became an independent director, and his relationship with Apple was broken.

and so. He got some internal news that this incident of Apple's senior personnel changes is not as simple as the outside world seems.

Scott, who had a good personal relationship with Markkula, planned a coup on the board of directors, trying to drive out the founders of Steve Jobs and Markkula, who are not doing business properly, so that Apple can become a "normal" company that he considers to be a "normal" company. .

And this operation also received support from many factions. There is great potential for series connection.

I have to say that Scott's heart is resentful, and it seems to be worthy of sympathy.

Markkula belonged to a hedonistic and neglected company affairs; while Jobs was arbitrary and drew more and more company resources to the project team.

In addition, Apple’s three founders, Jobs, Woz, Markkula, and Zheru’s founder Tang Huan, have established a complex relationship through mutual shareholding. The right to know their decisions often excludes Scott. Or ignore his opinions.

Just like this year, when Apple bought the shares of Philosopher in his hand for Apple, Scott didn't take it seriously. However, Apple's market performance was very strong, and even Apple's stock price had risen a lot, which made him swallow for the time being.

Perhaps because of Woz's fading out of Apple, Scott, who was exhausted but not comforted, saw the hope of changing the world, and with some hints and support, he went to war.

However, the position of the founder is extraordinary. Markkula and Jobs joined forces to extinguish the fire of Scott's uprising.

And it is said that Jobs was very proud and reported that Scott had agreed to expel himself from the Lisa project team.

Tang Huan was very upset about Apple's troubles. He naturally supported Markkula's measures to maintain Apple's stability. What is the strength of the internal fighting for foreign enemies at the moment.

"The company is calm now." Markkula smiled wryly and handed over a document. "This is a report to be submitted to the special board of directors. Look at it."

Tang Huan flipped it casually. It turned out to be something explaining the relationship between Apple and Philosophers to shareholders.

For example, the gentlemen's agreement between the two parties to transfer the Asian, especially Japanese market to a generation of Fangyuan computers is essentially just a form. Apple does not have Hanka technology and cannot gain a foothold in this market. It would be better to give up respectfully.

Moreover, to this day, the first generation of Fangyuan computers has not entered the US market through formal channels as agreed.

For another example, Apple, which was exchanged for shares of Philosopher in hand, has produced significant benefits in terms of market sales, stock market response, company product planning, and so on, and it is definitely worth the money.

In addition, Zheru not only uses killer apps, but also popular video games like Tetris. To help Apple Computer expand its market share, it also authorized patents for mouse control technology and so on.

In short, for a long time, philosophers and apples have mutually benefited each other, and there is no question of who takes advantage.

Tang Huan put down the report and smiled knowingly. "Put it in the light, it's fine to talk about it."

"I hope it can be more convincing in terms of patent authorization." Markkula looked at Tang Huan eagerly. "The graphics support features on the operation interface are very eye-catching. Lisa and the project team are also constantly conquering. The various difficulties in this field, exchanges, will undoubtedly advance the progress of research and development."

Tang Huan thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes. However, we need to sign a detailed agreement. We won't have disputes in the future and hurt our peace."

"It seems that successive lawsuits against Universal and ibm have made you more cautious." Markkula smiled and shook his head.

"For the specific operation, you can arrange for someone to go to Chambers. I will not attend Apple's board meeting personally, and there is still work to be done." Tang Huan finished. Get up and say goodbye.

Huan Huan told his own account, Tang Huan never thought it would be done once. He then flew directly to Los Angeles, just to go to the United States headquarters to test the results-to see the upcoming movies in advance.

Andy Albert led his subordinates and respectfully welcomed the big boss into the office.

After Lianmei became Tang Huan's toy, it can be said to have received preferential treatment. For example, the past shortfalls were not calculated, and the company structure remained stable.

This makes many people feel a little ecstatic, thinking that the boss is a soft persimmon, and they can't help but think of being proud of their talent.

But when they saw what happened to MGM after falling into Tang Huan's hands, they suddenly fell silent.

A special team composed of veterans in consulting, accounting, auditing, etc., directly stationed at MGM headquarters and started a series of operations that are said to be called "shock therapy."

Shutdown and transfer, salary adjustment and rotation. MGM has been repaired violently, and it is not over yet.

If the shareholders are dissatisfied, then buy your shares. If the employees are dissatisfied, then ask you to find another job, just like a tough posture of not letting go of internal relations.

Seeing this scene, the original staff of Lianmei suddenly realized that they are too naive. How could a billionaire who has climbed so fast be a good man and a believer.

Tang Huan glanced around and found that David Biegelman, MGM’s president and president, had also come to join in the fun.

This man was the head of MGM during Kirk Kirklian's administration, and there was still a professional manager contract for several years, so Tang Huan did not change.

Anyway, the other party's previous appointment in Colombia caused a public outcry because of the "misappropriation of public funds", leaving a record of his case. Any time he is not satisfied with his performance, he can be easily kicked away.

"The distribution rights of the movie you're watching have already been negotiated." Andy Albert handed over a document.

Seeing Tang Huan began to look through it, Andy Albert not only smiled bitterly, because several films on the file were released by Universal Pictures in Italy at the beginning, and it took a long time to succeed.

This obviously still remembers the enmity of Universal, Andy Albert speculated secretly.

Tang Huan focused on three movies that should have been released by Universal Pictures: "the"-"Four Seasons", "on"-"Golden Pond", "the"-"Conan the Barbarian", among them, "Four Seasons" is very It will be released soon.

The theme of this movie is a romantic comedy, with an investment of 6.5 million US dollars. The box office in the original time and space was more than 50 million US dollars. How could Tang Huan leave such a high-revenue movie to Universal Pictures, which offended him.

"We have already seen the editing of "Conan the Barbarian". I'm afraid the scene is too violent." Andy Albert said hurriedly.

"You can find a professional to evaluate it. However, isn't the selling point of "Conan the Barbarian" violence." Tang Huan said as he set his sights on the leading actor, the actor was Arnold Schwarzenegger. .

"By the way, leave "Conan the Barbarian" to MGM to run it." Tang Huan glanced at David Beagleman, "MGM can't always be so silent."

David Beagleman nodded and said yes, and at the same time he sighed. Regardless of the size of MGM is much larger than United States, but for many years, he has done nothing and is no longer eligible to compete in front of his boss.

""Golden Pond" is as planned. It will not be released until the end of the year, but I believe the quality of this film will not be a problem." It can be seen that Andy Albert's most promising movie is "Golden Pond".

This is not surprising, you know, the starring roles of "Golden Pond" are three powerful stars, Catherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda.

"The samples of the 007 movie "eyesonly" have also been sent." Andy Albert gave a special reminder. He knew that Tang Huan was very interested in this subject, and ea was preparing to launch a video game after the movie was released.

Tang Huan pondered slightly. "Design the release time of "eyesonly" so that you don't run into the "Indiana Jones" by Paramount and Lucas. That movie must be invincible this year."

The "007" series of movies can be regarded as the most well-known sign of United States. Of course, Tang Huan does not want it to suffer any setbacks. You must know that any failure is a loss of US dollars.

"I have also heard of "Indiana Jones". Andy Albert laughed bitterly. "The best schedules are those. It's really hard to adjust."

After listening to the report made by the senior management, Tang Huan glanced at David Beagleman, "I am going to release the MGM movie on a video tape, and the Japanese manufacturer has already contacted. I am preparing. In production, you have to do your best to assist."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan’s eyes fell on Andy Albert, “Lianmei will also follow up. For example, those films that have lost the box office may recover some costs through video.”

Andy Albert hurriedly nodded and agreed with David Beagleman, for fear that Tang Huan would remember last year's "Gate of Heaven" with no return.

Finish the meeting. After lunch and a short break, everyone went to the screening room together to see how the samples worked.

There are two movies: "Four Seasons" and "eyesonly"-"007 The Top Secret".

After meeting and greetings with their respective producers, directors, etc., the screening began.

After seeing the first batch of results of successfully intercepting Hu Huanqiu, Tang Huan was naturally very happy. This is just a small interest, and there are follow-ups.

However, because Lin Qingxian went to Xiangjiang to film "The Martial Arts Emperor's Flower", Deng Lijun did not return to Los Angeles. Tang Huan's joy can only be left to his own taste.

As a result, Tang Huan didn't mess with it anymore. After taking a look at his son, he rushed to the east coast.

Goldman Sachs, the best hitman, has finalized the acquisition.

After meeting, the triumphant John Weinberg and John Whitehead even joked, "Don, is there any new goal? We will take it for you."

"It takes time to digest the things I bought. There is no new acquisition plan for the time being." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Next, you can help me do the big thing well."

"That's really a troublesome job." When they mentioned this stubbornness, John Weinberg and John Whitehead suddenly felt the pressure and lost their joking mood.

Due to the sudden death of charlestandy, tandy's senior executives have a huge divergence in the direction of the main business in the future.

Although the normal operation has not been affected basically, it is inevitable that there will be confusion and doubts.

I am an electronic goods chain store. I always follow the boss in the leather business. After all, it is not a long-term solution.

So Tang Huan took advantage of the emptiness, and took it logically, so relaxed that people could not believe it.

Gein believes that this Silicon Valley-based company, a professional software and personal computer background, is far more reliable than Tandy, a leather business.

Tang Huan appointed John Roach as the supervisor.

This person’s previous contributions were mainly reflected in cheap personal computers such as trs-80, which were called junk, but were favored by non-professional users.

It can be said that in terms of sales alone, the trs-80 far surpasses the other two personal computers-Apple and Compost. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

During the inspection, Bush Jr. found him enthusiastically, and Tang Huan naturally guessed his intention.

Reagan, who was assassinated on March 30, returned to the Oval Office on April 25. White House staff and cabinet members stood up and applauded.

On April 28, he appeared in public for the first time and delivered a speech at the joint meeting of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Throughout the process, Vice President Bush Sr. never overstepped the thundering pool, which earned him the trust and respect of Reagan.

The basis for this proper response naturally comes from the tacit favors sent by Tang Huan when he was engaged in the discovery field, and Bush Jr. played the role of the middle message.

Of course, since it is tacit, it is impossible for everyone to mention this matter deliberately, and this process is sufficiently confidential.

"Tang, the scale of your business is getting bigger and bigger." After the meeting, George W. Bush smiled and complimented him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
